The whole concept is gross, but at some point it needs to be talked about before it’s too late. Evgeni Malkin told the Pittsburgh Penguins yesterday that he wanted to go to the free agency on Wednesday to see what the market holds for him. Malkin has never been even close to such an opportunity, and with negotiations between his side and the Pens not going well, he’s ready to at least move on to see what is out there.
As Sportsnet noted when they talked about potential landing spots, perhaps Pittsburgh is still the most likely landing space.
